Delaware Pool Permit Requirements

Before installing a shipping container pool, homeowners must follow Delaware’s state and local permitting regulations. While specific requirements may vary by city or county, general guidelines include:

• Permit Requirement: A permit is typically required for any pool capable of holding at least 24 inches of water.
• 
• Setback Distances: Pools must be placed a minimum distance from property lines. For example, in the City of Dover, pools must be at least 15 feet from all property lines.
• 
  
• Safety Barriers: All pools require a safety barrier to limit access. This typically involves a fence at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. In some cases, the pool wall itself may serve as a barrier if it meets specific height requirements and has a removable or lockable ladder.
• 
  
• Electrical Requirements: Pools with electrical components, such as pumps or heaters, require proper electrical installations. An outlet should be installed within 6 to 10 feet of the pool, and the use of extension cords is not acceptable. An electrical inspection by a third-party agency is typically required.
• 
  
• Plot Plan: Submission of a plot plan or survey showing the proposed location of the pool, existing structures, and setback distances is often required. This helps ensure compliance with zoning and setback regulations.
• 
  
• Please note that these requirements can vary depending on the specific location within Delaware. It's crucial to consult with your local building department to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information.
